I just feel that, since it's MY funeral, I have the right to do it the way I want to, right?
I'd say do away with the ugly yellow canvas. I want to make my funeral colourful. Yes, dear reader, your eyes aren't deceiving you. I'll have balloons and lights at my deathbed. I'll hire magicians, jesters, and stand-up comedians. I'll prepare a buffet spread, complete with chocolate fondue. And I probably have to arrange all of these in advance because I won't be alive to see them out.
Maybe I'm just being super optimistic and cheerful towards death, but I just feel regular funerals are boring. People come, they mourn, some cry, and then in a few months' time, some forgot you ever existed. I want a funeral that would be etched in people's minds. I want to make people who attended my funeral to feel good.
I seriously don't get why funerals are such solemn, dull and sorrow-filled affairs. Maybe I am just mad, but I feel that funerals should be fun. It should be a celebration of one's life. After all, we do have birthdays to celebrate our births, then why not use death as the perfect occasion for others to raise their mugs high up in appreciation of my once-existence on this world?
I'd rather have people wearing smiles on their faces then being gloomy and teary-eyed. I want people to remember me as the happy-go-lucky and funny guy I always perceived myself to be. To know that I passed on happily, and that I brought joy to people while alive. Let death be the last practical joke I pulled off.
